An interchangeable 120 mm PWM fan in combination with 4 direct touch heatpipes and a 48-fin heatsink enable the Freezer A30 to deliver outstanding cooling performance and improve heat dissipation from the CPU. According to the test results from Hardware Secrets, its superior cooling performance surpassed the stock cooler and similar models by up to 34 degrees.

Low Noise

The test in Tom's Hardware has shown that the Freezer A30 is the quietest cooler in their roundup. Thanks to the PWM control, the fan speed adjusts according to the CPU temperature and thus the noise level remains at an absolute minimum which qualifies it as a silent cooler.

Sturdy Mounting Mechanism

There is no need to worry about the weight of this muscular, yet gentle cooler. The Freezer A30 is using a durable steel mounting clip and will make use of the originalback-plate of the motherboard. As a result it has an excellent mounting stability and is fully transport-proof.

Direct Touch Heatpipe Heatsink

Rubber Vibration Absorbers

The Freezer A30 heatsink consists of 4 double-sided direct touch heatpipes, 8mm in diameter. A patented process (20 2011 000 71.8) allows us to pack the heatpipes without gaps and thus increase the contact surface and achieve better flatness by precision machining - both leading to an improved heat transfer.

"Leaves no Room for Criticism"

The new Freezer i30 is an inexpensive tower cooler. In addition to the low price the build quality, installation and cooling performance can convince as well. Also the noise generation of the 120 mm fan leaves no room for criticism. Given the fair price and the performance we give a buy recommendation.

"In fact, the performance of Freezer i30 is quite impressive compared to other coolers, especially if you consider that it is about $30 cheaper than other coolers."

Arabhardware

"ARCTIC F12 120 mm provides good air circulation, which is able to operate at a speed of 400 - 1350 rev. / Min. What's more interesting, even at top speed it's barely noticeable. Installation is simple enough even for beginners."

Benchmark.pl

"Overall, the cooler shows a good performance, silent operation, easy installation and an excellent build quality. Therefore, we award the ARCTIC Freezer i30 with a final score of 9.5/10 points."

Razorman

Walking or a few degrees warmer, but the Freezer i30 is a lot quieter than the competitor Cooler Master Hyper 412S. That is much more important than a small cooling difference under load.

BouweenPC

"Built with 48 fins, the heat can be easily blown away with this cooler using its four 8mm heatpipes and 12cm fan."

PCM

"At full speed, the fan is very quiet. The PWM technology is simply phenomenal, making the Freezer i30 almost inaudible, especially at 400rpm, where we couldn't hear any background noise from the motor at all."

FAQ

The PC is reporting a low fan speed during booting.

Your PC may send you a CPU Fan Speed warning when starting the PC if the fan speed is lower than the default minimum value. If you do not wish to receive this warning in the future, you may enter the BIOS to reset the minimum value or disable the function completely.

As shown in the example below, you can adjust the settings under Power -> CPU Fan Speed warning. By setting the value to 800 RPM, you should avoid any warnings of this kind in the future.
